After reading the original version of
this article I posted Jennifer Camp provided valuable additional information,
corrections and amplifications. Thanks, Jennifer. Despite being a newspaper
editor for 43 years and investigating for hours
before I publish an article, mistakes are inevitable.
Jennifer’s response to me:
I was very close to my Uncle Pat and my dear Mother Beverly
Morgan Colisino was my best friend.
My mom only had 1 sister who is now
remarried and has moved out of state. Mandi is my cousin, but she lives in
Farmington (which is where my Uncle last resided. Not Barrackville). Same with
my Cousin Tim & his wife.
Patsy Jr's parents are the late Patsy
Colisino Sr who passed in 2015 and Margaret Markley Colisino who passed in '89.
They resided in Carolina.
My Dad (Patsy's Brother) & my mom
Beverly who passed in 2019 both graduated Monongah in '74. I am the oldest of
their children. Jennifer Colisino Camp ('93 graduate of North Marion) live with
my husband Keith and our 4 kids in Arkansas. My brother , Harry James Colisino
Jr ('97 graduate of North Marion) lives with his wife Megan and their 2 kids in
Carolina. Patsy Jr was married to Donna McDonald Colisino of Barrackville (had
2 step kids Jimmy & Christy McDonald), but they divorced.
Patsy was an RN for more than 30 years at
multiple facilities. He graduated Monongah high in '75 and graduated Fairmont
State with his nursing degree.

Sorry for any mistakes I made. I only want

better information. And my condolences to the Colisino family, which first made
an impression on me when I was a teenager living on Church Street in Monongah.
